Prince of Tennis Fraudster

The entire process took only a little over ten seconds. But the two players' playing styles and states seemed to have been reversed.

"This……"

The second and third-year tennis players stared blankly at the two players arguing back and forth on the court. Some even rubbed their eyes, thinking they were hallucinating.

Yoshikawa swallowed hard: "Could it be... that he was holding back his strength?"

"No!"

Inoue shook his head, watching Niou take action before the jackal could return the ball. His eyes grew brighter and brighter, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"With every move he makes, he can accurately predict the direction of his opponent's return shot. In other words, it's not that his speed has increased, but that he possesses some kind of 'precognition' ability!"

Finally, as if remembering something, his eyes widened suddenly: "Data tennis!"

"hiss……"

Yoshikawa, Nakagawa, and the others standing nearby were also taken aback.

Data tennis!

Throughout Rikkai University, the only person who truly understands this is probably that person known as the monster. With a thought, they looked at Liu, whose eyes had closed again, not far away.

Gathered among the group, Liu Sheng, wearing glasses and constantly rubbing his chin, raised an eyebrow: "This is... Data Tennis?"

His voice was slightly hoarse, but it had a mature masculine magnetism that made Saori Shiba's eyes light up.

Marui nodded and said, "It should be right."

Data tennis is an extremely complex sport. Collecting data, analyzing data, and using data flexibly are all extremely mentally demanding tasks.

Top data tennis masters can generate information in their minds like a data stream with just a glance.

Liu's expression softened, and she said, "His math is very good!"

He had once outwitted the former Niou in a major competition, but Niou's cunning nature always put him at a disadvantage. Liu, in his heart, deeply admired Niou's mathematical prowess.

boom!

"Game! Nioh, 6-6, going to a tiebreaker!"

The match was dragged into a tiebreaker, which was exactly what Renou least wanted to see. But now, he seemed completely at ease.

In the race just now, he seemed to be running a lot, but in reality, he was only covering the distance he had estimated, making it much easier than before. More importantly, the mental burden he had was gone.

Not only did he not lose much energy, but he also recovered.

"Ok?"

He raised an eyebrow as he watched the jackal pick up the tennis ball and gently tap it. The opponent's previous game had probably been equivalent to three or four intense matches, yet his breathing remained steady.

"No, even if his stamina is 4 points, his energy expenditure shouldn't be this low, right?"

His gaze sharpened as he unleashed the [Data Eye] skill attached to [Data Tennis] on the jackal.

"This is?"

The information about the jackal shows that its strength increased by 0.5 and its skill increased by 0.3 after removing the weight. There is also an additional note after the talent that was not mentioned before.

"Undying runner: Physical talent that can effectively reduce an athlete's energy consumption by 10% during a race."

10%!

Renwang's eyes sharpened. No wonder, no wonder this jackal's five dimensions were even inferior to his, yet it was so troublesome.

Of course, aside from mental strength, Niou's actual four stats are much lower than his opponent's. However, as the match goes to a tiebreaker and the situation reverses, his opponent's mental weakness will likely be exposed.

boom!

Just as he was thinking this, the jackal's serve came over.

Upon hearing the sound, Niou naturally moved his body toward the approximate location of the opponent's serve. At the same time, he looked up to observe the jackal's movements.

"Drip drip!"

The jackal in his sight was like a disassembled three-dimensional graphic. His movements, expressions, and footsteps were all converted into information elements and transmitted to Nioh's mind.

Having moved into position, Renwang lifted his racket and said with a slight smirk, "The probability of moving to the left is 97%!"

boom!

With a flick of his racket, he hit the tennis ball towards the jackal's right side.

"Uh?"

The jackal, who instinctively reacted to the left, suddenly froze, awkwardly turned around, and sprinted towards the tennis ball.

Snapped!

However, he was ultimately a step too slow.

"Nioh, 1-0!"

This is the power of data tennis!

Chapter Thirty-Six: The First Fragment

In a tiebreaker, after the first serve, the serve changes hands every two serves.

Snapped!Snapped!

Gently tapping the tennis ball, Niou remained calm, his mind perfectly clear as he entered a state of data analysis and application.

call!

He tossed the tennis ball up, half-jumped, bent his arm, and swung his racket, smashing the ball with a beautiful smash.

Whoosh!

The tennis ball soared over the net, and the jackal moved in the direction of its flight. Although he was somewhat impatient, reason still prevailed, and he wouldn't blindly return the ball.

What Niou needs to do is to make the jackal's impulses override his reason and completely break his heart.

Whoa!

Seeing the jackal raise his racket, preparing to hit the tennis ball with a half-volley, Niou narrowed his eyes and instantly activated the Data Tennis skill.

"DiDi!!"

His brain worked at high speed, accurately analyzing the meaning behind the jackal's actions, and thus making a prediction.

"The probability of a diagonal kick is 18%, the probability of a through ball is 81%, and the rest... a short ball? No, for this move... the probability of a short ball is 100%!"

With a glint in his eyes, Renwang immediately moved and rushed to the net.

Snapped!

The jackal on the opposite side hit a short ball that wasn't quite standard, using a volleying motion.

How could that be?

But the moment the tennis ball was struck, he saw Niou leaping forward. In that instant, he felt as if he had been stripped naked, his innermost thoughts laid bare for the other to see.

pressure!

Niou turned a disadvantage into an advantage, but this put immense psychological pressure on the Jackals. Although he had a wealth of experience, it was mostly in doubles matches, where the pressure was shared with Marui and was far less than it had been with Niou.

boom!

Moving to the net, Renou flicked his racket, sending the tennis ball into a corner where the jackal couldn't react.

"Nioh, 2-0!"

"Gudu..."

Cold sweat streamed down the jackal's dark face.

He gritted his teeth, his heart burning with anxiety. Since when had he failed to score a single point? Wasn't the guy opposite him just on the verge of collapse?

The situation has reversed, and now he's been cornered.

He stared blankly ahead, muttering to himself, "Don't be impatient, don't be impatient..."

boom!

Suddenly, a crisp sound of a ball hitting the ground startled the jackal. He opened his eyes abruptly, only to see the tennis ball bounce off his side and fly behind him.

"Nioh, 3-0!"

"Ugh……"

Outside the stadium, seeing the bewildered Jackals, Marui gently shook his head. The others also wore expressions of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a complex feeling of mixed emotions, including regret and apprehension).

It's clear to everyone that the game has been turned around.

That Niou used data-driven tennis as his offensive tactic, and mastered it to perfection. With each accurate prediction, he gradually eroded the Jackal's advantage.

Liu said softly, "The outcome is already decided!"

boom!

"Nioh, 4-0!"

boom!

"Nioh, 5-0!"

boom!

"Nioh, 6-0!"

boom!

"Match ended, Niou Masaharu won, score 7-6!"

We won!

When the referee's decision was made, the pressure on Niou eased dramatically. His tense brain stopped working, as if a taut string had been released, and his mind and body were filled with a heavy sense of fatigue.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations on your victory, host! Your match rating is A+. Rewards include the skill card [Half Volley], the blue advanced card [Spin ​​Serve], and 1500 points!"

"Ding!"

"Congratulations, host, on completing the hidden mission [Team Victory]! Reward: 1000 points and [Imitation] fragment!"

The continuous system notifications instantly revitalized the exhausted Renwang. He quickly opened his rewards and saw the [Imitation] character fragment in his inventory.
